Verse 1
As I breath, oh the pain
Take what we needed, watch it burn in the flames
As I think, as I stay
We were the strong ones, others only obeyed
As I sit, as I wait
We started this together, look, how far we came
As I die, as I leave
They will sing our songs of glory on this day
Pre-Chorus 1
Into the cold night
We warred and we raged
Trying to outrun
The demons we become
Trying to outlive
The curse of our name
Was it all in vain?
Now that it’s done
Pre-Chorus 2
Do you remember my brother
(When we were kings)
When we held the worlds on our shoulders
(When we were kings)
You went on ahead without me
(Left me here)
I see your face now
Come take me home
Chorus
And just like that it’s over
What’s done cannot be undone
I’m wounded beyond redemption
One last breath and I’ll be gone
Bridge
I hope you’re
Finally…
Why did you have to leave
Why did I have to wait
I hope you’re
Finally…
Why did you have to leave
Why did I have to wait
Pre-Chorus 2
Do you remember my brother
(When we were kings)
When we held the worlds on our shoulders
(When we were kings)
You went on ahead without me
(Left me here)
I see your face now
Come take me home
Chorus
And just like that it’s over
What’s done cannot be undone
I’m wounded beyond redemption
One last breath I’ll be gone
(It’s over)
(Take me home)

Squelch
Verse
You don’t know the re…
Why’d I bother
You won’t let me in
Probably for the best
What if we just try
To figure this out
What else could I do?
Standing next to you
Pre-Chorus
Just like I knew you would
You ripped me apart, I’m no good
When I thought it was understood
Now I realise you are no…
Verse 2
You don’t like me yeah
Is it all in my head?
Waiting here all day
To be swept aside with
Complete lack of interest
What’s in place of your heart?
You won’t let me in?
I’m here inside with you
Bridge
I could never find a place inside
It’s time to let this die
I’ve got no tears left to cry
It’s time to let this die
Pre-Chorus
Just like you knew I would
I ripped you apart, you’re no good
When I thought it was understood
Now I realise you are no…
Pre-Chorus 2
It’s probably for the best
I figured it out
That I can figure it out now
It’s probably for the best
Verse 3
I don’t like me yeah
And it’s all in my head
He won’t let me in
But there’s no more protest
Safe here in this maze
I’ve figured it out
Nothing left to do
Together alone with you
Pre-Chorus
Just like that one last time
Watch now as I double-down
Living in shoes I’ll never fill
Trying to prove that I am still good
Chorus
Just like you knew I would

Death in the Desert
Verse 1
What happens if you leave?
Where will you run to now?
Will they come after me if I’ve helped you?
Where did it all go wrong?
Verse 2
Just like a wounded animal
Nowhere left to hide, out of time
Caught in your web of lies and deceit
The vultures smell blood
Chorus
It isn’t like you’ll die
What’s the worst that they could do she said this time
Broken sins and bleeding pride, yeah
No turning back it seems
Take a look around at all you’ve made
A hollow grave
I’m getting out of this alive
Verse 3
Where did you go to hide?
Tell me now it will be fine
Reaching past what you thought was owed to you
Did you have to take it all?
Chorus
It isn’t like you’ll die
What’s the worst that they could do she said this time
Broken sins and bleeding pride, yeah
No turning back it seems
Take a look around at all you’ve made
A hollow grave
I’m getting out of this alive!
Outro
There’s trees here without leaves
An ominous presence hovering
Over everything unseen
The smell of smoke hangs in the air
I’m reaching out but no ones there
No one’s there
I’ll take this path ahead alone
(Just where did you go?)
(Where did you fall down?)
Chorus
It isn’t like you’ll die
What’s the worst that they could do she said this time
Bleeding limbs and broken pride, yeah
No turning back it seems
Take a look around at all you’ve made
A hollow grave
There’s no getting out alive!

You Should See Me in a Crown
Verse 1
Bite my tongue, bide my time
Wearing a warning sign
Wait ’til the world is mine
Visions I vandalize
Cold in my kingdom size
Fell for these ocean eyes
Chorus
You should see me in a crown
I’m gonna run this fucking town
Watch me make ’em bow
One by one by one
One by one by
You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound
Watch me make ’em bow
One by one by one
One by one by one
Verse 2
Count my cards, watch them fall
Blood on a marble wall
I like the way they all
Scream
Tell me which one is worse
Living or dying first
Sleeping inside a hearse
I don’t dream
Bridge
You say
Come over baby
I think you’re pretty
I’m okay
I’m not your baby
If you think I’m pretty
Chorus
You should see me in a crown
I’m gonna run this fucking town
Watch me make ’em bow
One by one by one
One by one by
You should see me in a crown
Your silence is my favorite sound
Watch me make ’em bow
One by one by one
One by one by one
Chorus
Crown
I’m gonna run this nothing town
Watch me make ’em bow
One by one by one
One by one by
You should see me in a crown (you should see me, see me)
Your silence is my favorite sound (you should see me, see me)
Watch me make ’em bow
One by one by one
One by one by one

Clickhole
Verse 1
I’m so far in it seems
The real truth will be shown
With every click I keep evolving
I will not let it go
Pre-Chorus
What would you do if I happened to tell you
That there is so much more
Why can’t you see it’s going to blind you
The mind’s an open door
Verse 2
So on and on it streams
So down this road I go
Without any perceived motion
There’s still so much to know
Chorus
Take away your logic what would you do
And tear away the thought that you know the truth
You wouldn’t bend no you would never comply
Wait till you have time for time to pass you on by
Bridge
And you like that
And it’s such a bore
And you like that
And you like that
And it’s such a bore
Why do you live that way?
Verse 3
This world here becomes real
You thought you understood it all
Nobody here can even see it
Open your mind let go
Chorus
Take away your logic what would you do
And tear away the thought that you know the truth
You wouldn’t bend, you would never comply
Wait till you have time, it’s gone past you by

Cocoon
Chorus
Could I live inside of you
Lie awake I’ll sit and wait for you
What do you think I’m going to do, yeah?
My life a sacrifice for you
Verse
Hide it in, not a sin
Wash it all clean once again
It wasn’t like what they said
Take it in, twisted grin
Watch it all unfold again
Let it out, no breath now
Wilting away
Chorus
Could I live inside of you
Lie awake I’ll sit and wait for you
What do you think I’m going to do, yeah?
My life a sacrifice for you
Verse 2
Do I even need to try?
All this time I wondered why
Could I live inside this tomb?
So safe and miserable with you
Bridge
But we’re all going to die
So what’s it matter now, or in time
It’s going to hurt, try not to move
Oh, what’s the use
Chorus
Could I live inside of you
Lie awake I’ll sit and wait for you
What do you think I’m going to do, yeah?
My life a sacrifice so…
Do you stay now or let it show, but
Would you leave now and let it go
Do you stay now or let it show, but
Would you leave now or will you
Go
